SEVEN GENTS
FOR GOOD
Because of a poor run of salmon
in the Columbia, as high as seven
cents a pound was bid for fish at
Oregon City the first day of the
gillnetting season. The catch was
heavy, and the fish of good size. It
is believed that high prices will pre
vail throughout the greater part of
the season, buying interests being re
ported short of stock.
First cherries have arrived from
the south, and seem of good quality.
Boxes holding ten pounds are bring
ing 1 3 in the wholesale market. Rhu
barb is becoming heavy, and the price
has dropped off from one to two
cents a pound. Inability to can the
products is making the sauce fruit al
most undesirable for dealers to
handle at prevailing prices.
Green peas are developing a weak
market, owing to a plentiful supply.
Prices are off considerable from
former Quotations.
Sugar was advanced 10 cents per
hundred pounds throughout all coast
markets Friday. Whether the advance
was agreed upon by retailers, or
whether it came from the refineries,
which recently havB been selling at
lower than usual quotations, was not
apparent.

last week and early this week.

I The Angel of
f The Household
It. She Was Also Its Boss
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
.;..I..I..I.,1..I-;..I..I..;..H,.I..I..I..I..I.H..;..H..H-H-
WheD 1 became engaged to my Julia
it was with a condition which she im-
! posed upon me that her aunt, whom she
i considereu one of those "angels of the
aousehold" we hear so much about,
should live with us. I was totally in
experienced in domestic life except
what 1 had Unown at my own home,
and since we had been a united fam-
lily father, mother and children, with
; uo outside element my idea . of the
I home circle was that all families lived
I happily together. I told Julia that she
: would need some one at home during
the Ion j days when I was at business
and it was very fortunate that her
aunt was available.
Aunt Abigail bad fitted so well In the
bouse of which she bad long been the
bead that it did not occur to either her
or Julia or myself that she would not
fit in in a family where she must resign
all authority to her niece, whom she
had brought up from a little girl. What
was our surprise when on our sitting
down to the first mea! to see Aunt Abi
gail assume the woman's end of the
table:
Nothing could have occurred to show
us so suddenly and clearly that we had
begun married life with a handicap.
It was plain that the old lady expected
to go right along as head of the house
hold without any variation from what
she had been accustomed to. It was also
plain to me that the incubus would be
much harder for Julia to bear than for
me. I would be away from the house
from 8 in the morning until 6 in the
evening, while Julia would be in her
own household, which would be under
the guidance of Aunt Abigail. Instead
of expressing my feelings, therefore, I
."WOULD IOD HAVB ME OFFEND HIM AT
SUCH COST?"
smoothed matters over, told Julia that
we would find a modus Vivendi by
which term the diplomats express a
way of getting on without going to war
and she must not worry.
But the only way of living together
peaceably was to turn over everything
pertaining to the house, to say nothing
of our other affairs, to the angel of the
household. Our honeymoon was fol
lowed by a vinegar moon, at the end
of which something happened which
furnished me with an idea. I am one
of those fellows who are constitution
ally opposed to butting beads against
a stone wall when people can go around,
over or under it. That which I speak
of as having happened setmied to offer
a bypath over which Julia and I might
travel to peacefully recover our home.
The incident referred to was the
death of a cousin of mine who had
the sole care of her father's home. 1
received a letter announcing my cous
in's death at the breakfast table and,
assuming a melancholy air. said:
"It is my duty to take my uncle
A mos into my own home and give him
the attention he has received from his
da lighter. You'll help us out in the
matter, won't you. Aunt Abigail?"
Aunt Abigail's countenance did not
indicate that her heart would be in
this merciful work. Ah angel of the
household she did not fsney dividing
her sway with a disagreeable old
man. She asked If there were no oth
er relatives whose duty it was more
than mine to give the old man a home.
1 replied that there was no one. She
then asked how old my uncle was. and
I replied that he was fifty-eight.
Knowing that the mititress as w.ell
as the "angel of the household would
hring a pressure to hear on Julia to
break up this plan of mine, I did not
consult my wife In the matter. As 1
expected, on my return from business
Julia came to me with a protest, which
I was sure had come from her aunt,
acrainst introducing a firehrand Into
our happy household. I replied that 1
had respected Julia's sense of duty In
fhe matter of providing a home for her
nnnr nd I now expected her to be
equally .lust to me with reference to
my voor uncle. And I made my reply
so decisive that It was evident there
would be no use in trying to alter my
resolution.
Now, my Uncle Amos was one of the
finest old fellows in the world and
would no more encumber me and my
wife or any other young couple for
that matter than he would commit
murder. He had befriended me many
a time, and I proposed that be should
do so once more. When he had be
come settled in his uew life after his
daughter's death 1 went to him and
told him of my proposition to my fam
ily to take him in and give him a home.
He was about to interrupt me with a
protest when I went on with my plan,
asking him if he would me by
visiting us for so long as wwiai be nec
essary to get Aunt AblgaH out of the
house. T .iou".3 expect "ului to uinkp
himself as disagreeable as possible
the more disagreeable the sooner his
work would be done.
Uncle Amos argued against the
move, saying that I would better oust
my wife's aunt by turning her out, but
I convinced him that the family peace
would be better preserved by my meth
od than by bis. So at last he promised
to aid me if 1 would wait awhile. 1
waited a month; then with my uncle's
leave announced to my family that the
poor old man would be with us fhe
next evening for dinner to remain in
definitely. When on the day of his arrival we
were sitting down to the dinner table 1
motioned my uncle to the seat at my
right. But he. seeing Aunt Abigail at
the other end of the table, sniffed the
air with assumed anger and said:
"I've been used to sitting at the head
of my own table for forty years, and
I see uo reason why 1 should take a
back seat now." He glared at Aunt
Abigail, as much as to say, "1 propose
to have the same rights as the other
Interloper."
. I at once deferred to the old gentle
man, giving him' my seat, thus resign
ing the remaining half of the head of
the house. His selfishness brought a
frown to the face of Aunt Abigail, and
I am quite sure she had uo idea what
ever that her own selfishness was ex
actly the equivaleut of the disagreea
ble old man opposite her.
We had not been long dining be
fore Uncle Amos addressed my aunt:
"These young people deserve encour
agement They're mighty good to take
us old folks in and give us a home.
I presume that you have made them a
good settlement"
Julia and I looked at each other.
Aunt Abigail, who was well off, had
not even given Julia her trousseau.
The old lady glared at my uncle and
made uo reply.
"Well," resumed the old gentleman.
"I don't propose to be outdone by any
body. What you give them, I give."
Still the only reply was a glare.
"What dp you say to starting a fund
of $10,000 each? I'm ready to turn
over ten 5 per cent first mortgage
bonds worth in the market $12,000 to
$13,000 if you'll do the same."
"I would have you understand, sir,"
Aunt Abigail finally replied, "that I do
my giving independently of you or any
one else." n
"Oh. well," said Uncle Amos, "then
I'll do the giving alone. I intended to
leave my nephew that amount in my
will, and now that he has been so kind
as to give me a home for the rest of
my days I'm willing to pay for it To
morrow I'll transfer the bonds to him."
And so tie did. thus assuming an ad
vantage over the old lady that she
could not regain except by coming
down with an equal amount. This 1
knew she would not do, nor would my
wife ever get the .benefit of any part of
her property, for it was all willed to a
ne'er-do-well son who had a large fam
ily of his own. As to my uncle's prop
erty, I knew very well that with the
death of his daughter I would, if 1
should outlive him. inherit all of it
Uncle Amos played his part remark
ably well. Aunt Abigail would have
dominated me through my wife and
broken up my game but for his gener
osity. Whenever Julia came to me to
beg me to get rid of my uncle I had
only to say: "My dear, bow can I do
that when he has given Us $12,000 and
I expect to be the 4ielr of all his prop
erty? ould you have me offend him
at such cost?" That always ended the
argument
Uncle Amos was not slow to discern
those things by which Aunt Abigail
set " most store and never failed to
claim them for himself. Nevertheless
the old lady hung on. On several oc
casions my uncle would have given np
the struggle had I not represented to
him that if he deserted me I should
have Aunt Abigail on my shoulders
for the rest of my life, as Sindbad the
Sailor carried the Old" Man of the Sea.
Then he would say, "I'll stick to it
awhile longer, my dear boy," and
renewed the contest
At last Aunt AbagaU told my wife
that if we didn't get rid of that old
miscreant she would leave herself,
hinting at the same time that she had
meditated dividing her fortune at her
death between her son and Julia, and
if she left the son would get all.
Julia, who believed the old woman's'
statement made a final effort in her
aunt's behalf, but I stood firm, and
our household was at last bereft of its
angel. We loved to have Uncle Amos
with us and kept him as long as possi
ble underthe plea that if he went
away the angel would come back. But
after she had settled herself in her
own house the old gentleman departed,
making us a present of ten more bonds
as "some token of his gratitude for our
great kindness to him in offering him a
home." ,
fie did not live long after this, and
happily before he died we were en
abled to show our own gratitude by
nursing him during his last illness and
were thankful for the opportunity.
Aunt Ablcait is now a very old wom
an and bids fair to be a centenarian.
